Thread: EDC Knife

I thought I posted this earlier but I dont see my post now.

Gerber little EDC. Thin and light in the pocket...

I was gifted this by a member who I offered to do some free work on a couple of razors. He works at the Case factory



He said that if I ever needed a knife to let him know and he could get me a sweet deal. My son happened to be looking for a new hunting knife. I picked this up for a fraction of the retail price.

Gets used a lot, at work. Haven't changed the blade for some time. I keep a stone at work for keeping it sharp

I have carried ones like these at work and the point for me is that the boss buys blades and I don't have to sharpen them.

Many are very thick and awkward to me in the pocket.

My favorite was a Gerber but it disappeared. I think it was sent in my uniform to get laundered.

I have since then turned my pockets inside out when I change!

Here's my EDC, a ZT Rexford

What steel does your version use? I see there is some variety.

I don't care for holes in handles or blades because the thing they do best is collect junk even if it is just pocket lint.

Tim, I have no idea what steel is used in my version.
All I can tell you is I have had it for some years and it holds a really nice edge for quite a while.
Lint and junk have never been a problem. The knife is clipped onto the top inside of my front pocket.

The only pocket knife I will carry now has to be a "Lock-Back". I learned the hard way.

Problem at my shop, everyone has one. And were always out. Well....everyone else but me. I pick up the ones they leave laying on the floor, and counters. Then hone um back up. Only ever needs a few passes, and their back in business.

I do keep my leatherman in the glovebox of the semi truck. Its such a handy tool.

To myself an EDC should be practical and economical.

Maybe not the "best" or the best "show piece".

But it does what you want in a reliable manor at a reasonable cost.
